I haven't seen a Husky for years.
Nice spot !

Likewise, great to see a Husky (my first car). Unusual back bumper. I guess it gives easy access to the starting handle hole.
Is that a Sunbeam Stiletto next to it? Surely that can't be a coincidence. I can't think when I last saw either of those.

more pictures of the Imps on this thread..... might give a bit of context.

Thanks for that. So several Imps.
Back to this topic, there's a great shot of an XJS Celebration further down that page parked next to a people carrier, the top XJS looks to be at the same hight as the bottom on the windows on the people carrier.

It's probably been done before, but I just remembered I took this photo at the PHSS at BMW.

Wow they are big spaces

Here we have the classic that is Allan McNish being dwarfed by the more modern Billy monger, Steve Jones and the modern classic - Toto Wolff.

Although he is very slightly further away

Haha, I remember seeing that yesterday and couldn't help focus on the height difference between them rather than the interview itself!

Well they are supposed to be for modern day milk-floats!

Or maybe cars that run on electrickery - oops.

The smallest BMW is the 1 series.

Its a fwd Mini in a not so posh frock, so it doesn't count.

Its a BMW, you might not like it, but it is a BMW.

Its got nothing to do with it......
Its about making a valid comparison, and as the 1 Series etc is now a transverse engined fwd/awd layout, the 2 Series Coupe is thus the smallest longitudinal engine/rwd layout car that BMW currently make - thats the comparison, and a bleedingly obvious one to most people here as well.

If you say so.

I know the Lotus is ever so slightly further away than the MX5 and the E but classic dwarfed by classic dwarfed by modern...

Which is the modern car? The one that’s at least 20 years old?

At the time the price was not to bad (without engine) I have no idea what they are asking right now for a completed car, sadly a few years ago the big carrera 904 gts forum was closed down.

What do you mean ordering together one car? or do you mean, ordering from NL 2 cars at the same time so maybe they will give us reduction of the price :-)
If I'm ordering I want such car for myself, I guess you want so too? its been a few years since a nice one came online for a reasonable price.
In the Netherlands they built them as well, a bit like those M&W do, but in NL the price is way higher sadly.

60k ukp they used to be iirc. Whichever construction that would allow splitting cost per person would work for me.
True dream car this one!
